Alien vs. Predator 3: The Final Hunt Begins (2025)

The latest installment of the Alien vs. Predator franchise promises an intense and brutal conclusion to the longstanding battle between two of cinema’s most iconic extraterrestrial species. Directed by Shane Black, this film takes the story to new heights, merging thrilling action with deeper, darker lore that both fans of the original films and newcomers will appreciate.

Plot
Set a decade after the events of AVP: Requiem, The Final Hunt Begins takes place in a distant, war-torn world, where the Predators, facing extinction from the ruthless Aliens, have gathered their last remaining warriors. The film opens with the remnants of an elite Predator hunting faction forming an uneasy alliance with a group of human survivors stranded on the planet. But as the two sides clash, the Aliens reveal a terrifying new breed, one that is even deadlier and more intelligent than before.
Human protagonist, Dr. Elizabeth Kane (played by Rebecca Ferguson), finds herself caught in the middle of this brutal conflict. She is a scientist researching the Alien species for military purposes, but her loyalties are put to the test as the bloodshed escalates. What she discovers about the origins of the Alien-Predator war will change everything, as both species fight to control a powerful weapon that could tip the scales of intergalactic warfare.
Action & Visuals
The film’s action sequences are as intense as expected, with stunning visuals that bring the iconic Alien and Predator creatures to life in full, terrifying glory. Shane Black’s direction brings a mix of his trademark sharp wit and suspenseful tension, with a balance of high-octane combat and eerie moments of quiet terror. The Alien and Predator encounters are more visceral and dynamic, creating some of the franchise’s most thrilling battle scenes yet.
The use of CGI is masterful, allowing for terrifying Alien mutations and deadly Predator tech that enhances the visual experience. Black also returns to a darker, grittier tone, reminiscent of the earlier Predator films, giving it a nostalgic yet fresh feeling.
